@Gondolindrim Hi Gondo, sorry for the ping. Do you have any clues to how this might be resolved? Thank you!
Not sure what "shits the bed" actually means
I will assume it means it does not work
If the PCB works with tweezers than chances are it's not hardware damage
Rather something is shorting the PCB on the back
What happens if the PCB is not on a surface?
From the video it seems all switches enact their respective column, which also points towards a short
it does the same thing when its not on my desk
i tried looking on the back to see if there was anything out of the ordinary but all the diodes and stuff seem to be there
But it works ok with tweezers?
i can get a normal acutation with tweezers but sometimes if i contact the socket in just the right way it will short like with the switches
I need more info here
As for something shorting the PCB it can range from dust to solder flux
IPA cleaning is the sure fire way to know
Then again, if you get normal actuation from switches there is a very low chance it's a hardware fault
In negative case, the first step would be to try clearing EEPROM -- press and hold escape, plug PCB in, wait some 10s and unplug-replug
If that doesn't do, reflashing
just went over it with some ipa and also did a reflash
still the same
Get some time, let's video call
I want to see this
i can tmrw around 4pst?
